Africans here in this land of
devils and demons, minis-
ters have learned to fight
these active spirits on their
own ground.
Recently two elderly
their decision not to allow Ran-
dolph to re-enter the country
after having left for a trip to
Germany.
The Randolphs have been try-
ing to get a residence permit to
remain in Greece since Septem-
ber of last year. They were denied
this permit because he was
accused of opening a church
without a permit and of prosely-
tism. Both of these accusations
were made against him and en-
occasion at their expense. One
of the Glenwood elders, H. Clyde

cultural development, and per-

tered on his record before he was
aware of it. Neither accusation
was ever proven, and both are
false, said Randolph.
An appeal was made for the
reconsideration of the matter
at which time letters from U.S.
senators stating their concern in
the matter were sent. On Aug.
28 the final answer was given
saying that the Randolphs could
not live in Greece.
Randolph said, “It iswithsor-
. row that we leave Greece and the
29 different major fields.
Leaders in the class were Bev-
erly Luz, Alexandria, Va., vale-
dictorian, and Mrs. Wayne Tom-
linson, Battle Creek, Mich., sal-

and appreciate so much. Even
though we have known for the
past year that this day might
come at any time we Rave con-
- tinued to move forward with our
work hoping that the, difficulty <
might be solved. The outreach of
our efforts had steadily increased
along with more and more visible
results during the last year. The
Bible correspondence program
alone is producing more contacts
than we can handle with four
souls obeying the gospel since
the end of last year. We praise
God for the Bible correspon-
dence work in Greece and thank
very much Brother Jimmie Lov-
ell and those of Miss-A-Meal for
helping to make it possible.’
Randolph is now in Ankara,
Turkey, where he is waiting for
Mrs. Randolph to take care of
their furniture and personal
things in Thessaloniki before
meeting him at the Greek-Yugo-
■ slavian border for their return
home. Because all accusations
were made against Randolph and
not against the rest of the family,
they were allowed to enter
Greece. ‘
The Randolphs are sponsored
in their work by the church in
Hamilton, Ala. They may be

there.
